What should I do if I'm between sizes?

If you have short legs for your height, size down to ensure you can stand over the frame comfortably.

If you have average to long legs for your height, great news for bike shopping. If you are 5'11" for example, we can most likely adjust the seat and handlebar height of either a medium or large frame to be comfortable for you. The larger frames, however, have longer frames that give you a longer reach from seat to handlebars. We also have three different size handlebars and crank arms, our larger frames come stock with wider handlebars and longer crank arms If you are in between sizes, you can test ride both sizes to see which handlebar and crank size you like better.

What are crank arms?

The crank arms are what the pedals are attached to. The longer the crank arms, the bigger circles your legs will spin as you pedal.

What is the top tube?

The top tube is the top bar of the frame. Even though bikes are typically measured by the seat tube (a height measurement), the top tube dictates the horizontal length from seat to handlebars, which is less adjustable that the vertical height of the seat and handlebars.

What is the seat tube?

The seat tube is the part of the frame that goes from the pedals to the seat. This is the part of the frame typically referenced in frame size.

What is c-c?

Center to center. Seat tube c-c is the length of the seat tube, measured from the center of the cranks to the center of the top tube. Vintage men's bikes are traditionally measured this way because the have horizontal top tubes.

What is c-t?

Center to top. Seat tube c-t is the length of the seat tube, measured from the center of the cranks to the top of the seat tube. This is the modern standard for sloping top tube frames. Modern single speed companies tend to use this measurement even if the bikes do not have sloping top tubes, which causes the bikes to fit small for their listed frame size.

* for riser bars (standard handlebars) - bullhorns and drop handlebars are all the same size.
